I've been talking to the dead
With this photo album here in my bed
Picnics, parties, long ago
Some are strangers, many I know
All those smiling faces
Now here's a wedding, and there's the bride
And my handsome dad smiling by her side
Just out of the frame, I guess a band is playing
And I wonder what words to him she's saying
All those smiling faces
Second row, third from the right
Young Uncle Jim who got called up to fight
Beside him, Meg, his fiancée
Pretty Meg waited for a never-come day
Ooh, get on the floor and dance
You don't have forever
Ooh, get out there and dance
Soon we'll all be together
There's Auntie Jean and her two beaux
The one behind her is the one she chose
Coming out of the water, they're all dripping wet
Oh, the jilted one doesn't know it yet
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
Down the years, the family face
Keeps jumping around from place to place
A look, a shape, a nose, an eye
That everlasting thing that's never gonna die
Ooh, get on the floor and dance
You don't have forever
Ooh, get out there and dance
Soon we'll all be together
We'll all be together
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
All those smiling faces (All those smiling faces)
